TabulaTrack Image LTR Series & MediaConcierge Since the Archive Recorder was introduced at NAB 2010 last year, its new concept in archiving, to simplify archiving systems at the most economical price and exchange archive data, has been well understood and acknowledged by many end users throughout the world. At NAB 2011, more practical solutions for archive systems will be introduced. The new LTR-120HS Archive Recorder, which covers AVC-Intra codec with OP-1a format and also with OP-Atom format, will be unveiled. Thus LTR-120HS more extensive archiving can be arranged with the LTR-120HS and. An + Final Cut Pro system will also be demonstrated. MXF file data recorded in LTO-5 tape of can be bi-directionally communicated with Final Cut Pro. Thus any required portion of recorded data in can be transferred to Final Cut Pro, or any edit data by Final Cut Pro can be sent to an. In this system, a new partial retrieval function, as well as rewriting meta data, will be introduced. An with external LTO-5 drive will also be shown. This external LTO-5 drive will be connected with SAS and used as simultaneous archive data copy. Thus the same data recorded into can be recorded in the external drive. An with IBM auto-loader will also be demonstrated. In this system, up to 48 LTO-5 tapes in the robotic auto-loader can be freely controlled by thus 2,400 hours of an archived system at 50 Mbps can be established. An ingest system using an MBP-100SX MXF Clip Server & Baseband Converter as well as an MBP-100MP Multi Format Player in MXF will also be demonstrated. All of the above systems will be shown on the main aisle-side, while one more archive system with and LTR-120HS will be set up in the meeting room, in order to allow for a closer look and detailed discussions MBP-100MP there. More Facts of An will also be demonstrated at the IBM Booth (N5123, North Hall) with their server system, and at the SGL Booth (N2821, North Hall) with an HP auto-changer system. In addition, there will be an LTO Consortium in the North Hall, where 16 LTO-5-related companies will exhibit their products; FOR-A will be demonstrating the there. At the Consortium, FOR-A will hold a presentation introducing an LTR- 100HS+related system on April 12 (2nd day of NAB 2011) from 12:00-14:00 pm at room N238 (North Hall).

Converter, and UFM-30DDA HD/SD 1 x 5 Distribution Amplifier, together with a UFM- 30CTL WEB Control System.

FA-9500 THE Processor The FA-9500 has already been utilized by many customers throughout the FA-9500 world, but due to large demand, its delivery schedule has not been able to keep up with all these

3 UFM-30FRC Frame Rate Converter module The UFM-30FRC is a new frame rate converter with motion compensation capability, so that moving captions in particular, such as crawl and UFM-30FRC roll, can be smoothly frame rate-converted without any intermittence. Input and output formats cover 525i, 625i, 720P50, 720P59.94, 1080i50, 1080i59.94, and 1080PsF23.98, and conversion between SD (525i/625i) and HD (720P/1080i/1080PsF), as well as between HD (720P/1080i/1080PsF) and HD (720P/1080i/1080PsF) are possible. The UFM-30FRC is a perfect tool for network, production and post-production, and newsroom applications. It can definitely meet low budget requirements. UFM-Series In addition to the UFM-30FRC, other unique yet useful and high performance UFM modules will be exhibited: the UFM- 30FS HD/SD Frame Synchronizer, UFM-30FS-R HD/SD Frame Synchronizer with Relay Bypass, UFM-30FS-DA HD/SD Frame Synchronizer with Audio Embedder & De-embedder, UFM- 30DCC HD/SD Color Corrector, UFM-30DCC2C Dual Channel for UFM-30DCC, UFM-30UDC 3G/HD/SD Up/Down/Cross Converter, and UFM-30DDA HD/SD 1 x 5 Distribution Amplifier, together with a UFM- 30CTL WEB Control System. We invite you to take a closer look at each module and check UFM-Series the incredible performance. FA-9500 THE Processor The FA-9500 has already been utilized by many customers throughout the FA-9500 world, but due to large demand, its delivery schedule has not been able to keep up with all these orders. At NAB 2011, the FA-9500 will be shown with a new FA-95CO Change Over option. The FA-9500 has two independent outputs. With the FA-95CO option, it can keep checking two inputs, and when one input is detected with black signal or CRC error signal (or even non-standard SDI signal), it automatically switches to the other proper input signal. Moreover, even when embedded audio is detected as an incorrect signal, the FA-95CO can change over to the other input signal automatically. And the operator has a choice of either switching back to the previously used input signal manually, or automatically, when the previously used input signal returns to normal a very useful function, especially for network applications. The FA-9500 also has many more standards functions (AVO, color corrector, 3G/HD/SD/analogue up/down conversion, etc.), which provide an absolute difference in functionality and performance from the competition. Please check the unit out! HANABI Switchers A variety of HANABI switchers will be shown at NAB The most important switcher this time will be the new HVS-4000HS HVS ME and 2.5ME HANABI systems. Main features of the HVS- 4000HS include a maximum of 48 inputs and 24 outputs; HD and SD inputs simultaneously accepted and mixed using an up/down/cross converter option; maximum of 18 keyers with 4 keyers per ME as standard; up to 2 DSKs can be installed in an AUX bus as an option so that captions can be superimposed onto AUX outputs; combiner function, which allows DVEs to be combined before ME bus; maximum of 12 still stores; built-in 4/10/16 display multiviewer; up to 6 channels of 2.5DVE and 8 channels of 3D DVE can be added and used together, while all DVEs can process video+key in each channel; built-in color corrector; macro function; S3D stereoscopic switcher mode. More functions are also available in the HVS-4000HS. At NAB, a 2ME operation unit and 2.5ME operation unit will be connected to one HVS-4000HS main unit, so that simultaneous switching operation can be demonstrated. (Kindly note that a 3ME version of HVS-4000HS will be available from this autumn.) Other HANABI systems, an HVS ME HANABI, 1.5ME HANABI, and 1ME HANABI, will also be shown. With the HVS- 350HS, an Abekas Mira sports recorder will be interconnected and introduced an Abekas Mira controlled through an will be demonstrated. 03 FOR-A Newsletter vol. 093 NAB 2011 Special Edition
